    What a bunch of sniveling whiners .. We areputting in a missle defense system that could act in time to protect most of Europe and even much of Russia from a nuclear attack by Iran, if Iran ever developed or obtained nuclear weapons and rockets with a range long enough to reach those targets .. and it's at no cost to them .. and still they all whine ..

    After the fall of the Berlin Wall, as Soviet troops withdrew from Eastern Europe and America began to talk about closing bases in Germany, Europe looked as if it might become the big, peaceful, postmodern federation that European Union architects had long dreamed of: a humanist club where conflicts at home and abroad would be resolved by talking everything to death instead of killing.

    Then the Balkans blew up and the United States military stepped in to stop a war that Europe was incapable of facing.

    May I suggest that the next time they start crying out because they need us, maybe we won't come to save them again?
